The iconic status symbol - which was listed by Sotheby's - was originally created for actress and model Jane Birkin in 1984.
Despite stains and scratches, it became the most expensive handbag ever sold after a buyer paid a huge €8.6 million ($10 million).
Kim Kardashian, 44, took to social media to poke fun at the sale as she seemed to be eyeing up the bag.
She posted a video on her Instagram which featured an AI version of herself by meme account RickDick.

However, the designer bag actually went to a private collector from Japan - whose identity is known - despite the speculation.
The bid was placed through Maiko Ichikawa who is the Country Head of Sotheby's Japan
Jeff Bezos' wife Lauren Sanchez - who is a close friend of The Kardashians reality star - was also rumored to have bid for ownership of the bag.
According to the Associated Press, the auction started at a whopping $1million as bids were placed both in person and via the phone.
Bids were as high as $6.5 million, $6.8 million and €6.2 million ($7.2million) before the final price was agreed.
